Again, drunk Chifuyu is moe Chifuyu. Drunk Chifuyu is confession Chifuyu AKA the only part I really enjoyed about V5, or was it 4? I think it was 4. Hair down Chifuyu versus ponytail Chifuyu. A battle that will shake the very foundations of the Earth D:

I got bored with Generation Shift so I fast forward to the future where most of the juicy part of the story are.

I might do a rewrite sometime in the future if I can find the time to do so.

The following story take place in Generation Shift universe.

Spoiler for Generation Shift 2:

It was a bright Sunday morning as warm bright sunlight pour through the window and hits Cecilia’s eyes.

The British girl whimper like a child refusing to go to school before grabbing a pillow to shield her face from the invading light.

“Wake up, Cecilia.” A voice spoke out while somebody shook her gently.

“Five...more....min...tue... Chelsea...”

It took a while before her brain is awake enough to register two things: 1) the voice that spoke to her is male and 2) the voice sounds like Ichika.

Cecilia jumped wide awake, fully surprised to see Ichika dressed up in a suit. She looked at her current attire and her face turn red in embarrassment. She grabbed her bed sheet and covered herself up.

“I-I-Ichika! What are you doing h-h-here!?”

The boy looked at the girl puzzled. It was as if he had been doing it for years.

It was then, memory flooded in her mind. Cecilia remembered that after graduating from ISA, Ichika confessed his love for her and they are happily married for 2 year now.

“You have an IS presentation at 11am, I believe it’s time for you to dress up and prepare for the presentation.

With her face still beet red, Cecilia nodded in acknowledgement.

“I am going to get changed....could you leave the room?”

Ichika looked at Cecilia with a puzzled look again.

“Didn’t you usually want me to help you to change?”

Steam burst out of Cecilia’s ears. What kind of devilish suggestion was that? What exactly happened to her during the last 2 years?

“I am fine on my own...”

Ichika nodded and walked out of the room.

Cecilia pinched herself to make sure it is not a dream. She felt pain but for some unknown reason, it felt so unnatural and surreal.

'May be I was just overthinking about things....' She thought to herself as she looked at a certain blue ear-accessory on her dressing table.

It was no ordinary piece of jewelry of course.

That was one of the greatest invention in human history.

It was the closed form of an Infinite Stratos.

But that was not just any IS.

It was her pride, her machine.

Her personal IS, Blue Tears.

I mentioned the title of this story before so I will not mention it again.

As if sensing my thoughts, Chifuyu-nee levels me a glare and raises her attendance book again. "Right. The reason I'm here is to ask if I can borrow one of the school's IS for a bit."

"A school IS? You're a personal IS owner, why would you need a school machine?"

"It's for my project… I don't need the machine per say, just the core-"

"No."

"Eh? Why? I know borrowing an IS from the academy is usually a lengthy process but Houki managed to bypass it. Can't you pull some strings and let me borrow one Chifuyu-nee? I promise to return it in the same condition I received it in!"

Chifuyu-nee places a hand on her forehead before sighing. "What you're asking for is different. You want permission to remove the core from an Academy IS and implant it in your experimental IS for testing. Even with your ISED level three license, there's too much red tape involved. If you want the core, you'll have to apply for it like everyone else and let me tell you, the paperwork alone can fill this whole room."

Damn. I figured it would be something like this… I didn't want to use it but let's hope my secret weapon can change the tide…

"Well that's a shame. I spent my entire morning baking cakes too…" I reach down to the bag beside me and withdraw a small cake box. "It just happens to be a mango sponge cake with fresh whipped cream-"

The box disappears from my hands.

"An Uchigane will be delivered to your hangar bay by tomorrow morning."

“What the heck is wrong with her? I swear Chifuyu-nee can be a prick sometimes”

“…I never though Orimura-sensei can be so cold…”

And the sniper due sighed, meanwhile, I stay silent from the beginning. Finally, Rin was out of the Teacher’s lounge, Bodewig waste no time and left without words.

“Oi, what is this adventurer gallery?”

“We’re waiting for you, you know” I told her.

“Meh, it’s not like I’m suspended or anything. Seriously you two, that’s kind of overboard”

“But-“

“Lingyin-san, what do you mean?”

Madoka and Cecilia are fumbled at her indifference, of course. I suppose the new Rin is like that… a little too mature?

Anyway, I was angry for a good reason, not because Chifuyu reprimanded Lingyin and Laura. No, she also heard the story from their point of view, which meant Chifuyu-nee distrust the senior. On that point, I actually had to apologize not to make it clear.

“Rin…are you granted access to NEUCOM?”

She tilted her head “No, Chifuyu-san didn’t say anything about it, why?”

“WHAAAT?! You’re not allowed to use NEUCOM?” both Madoka and Cecilia cried.

NEUCOM is a fancy name for a central I.S. repair station, located near Development branch. Its technical name is Brain World Computer, but everyone thinks the name too cheesy, so Neural Computer is used in response.

Due to I.S. nature being self-developing. Its repair process is not done physically; rather, we dive deep into the system and boost up the existing AI system in repairing the I.S.

I don’t know how exactly, but apparently RIn is a good friend of Cecilia now, thus the British lady muttered clear concern “But that means you can’t participate with the tournament!”

“Eh, my fault there, can’t protest”

Normally, a major damage on the frame will take more than 24 hour to be repaired without support due to firmware programming inside the core. However, using NEUCOM, I.S. processing power can be rerouted solely for the repair process, cut the time to roughly 8 hours or more.

I laughed, hard.

“…I knew it… I guess she really had to fumble it, I should just apologize”

“Told you the truth, Chifuyu-nee did the right thing in this matter” I told my sister and ruffled her head “But the way she did it and anything she say tend to incite misunderstanding. And she’s too prideful to admit it and too hesitant to clear it up”

“How?”

“Rin’s machine is damaged, yet Chifuyu-nee didn’t tell her to use NEUCOM so she can participate. This might seems unfair, but remember first and foremost, Rin and Bodewig had wrecked Academy machines”

Rin chuckled. “As for the seniors, they’re punished by doing that repair, which might take entire night considering the expansion of NEUCOM had not yet implemented. The reason is that majority of participant in the subsequent tournament use rental machines, if those machines don’t get prepared by the morning, then the tournament might be delayed. If that happens, then I would be the one responsible, right?”

“To Chifuyu-nee, it might bother her somewhat. But if she did, she will never tell us. And that’s what made me angry, if she really saw us as a family, shouldn’t she be more honest?” As I walked slowly, I continue to talk “It’s not like we’re a couple of innocent kids anymore, we have gone through a lot… Madoka, Cecilia, Rin, Houki… Charles and Bodewig too… we’re not ordinary kids, not anymore, although I wish we are. But it that’s the case, we might never met at all”

“O, ho… so the emperor had returned?”

“Maybe yes, maybe no… but I wish Chifuyu-nee could open herself like she is ten years ago”

Hnn...to me, it seemed as if the 'realization' came a bit too ... easily? Or maybe it was the 'explanation' part... Oh! That's an idea - for an apology, can have Ichika make Chifuyu something to help with the apology, a small cake, a pie or a batch of cookies - something to get the 'wifey' act going again. XD Just something to get the other girls (other than Madoka) poking at him again.

And then, as Chifuyu's apology to them, she can bring in the slice of cake/pie and eat it in front of homeroom, saying that she suddenly felt like having a piece while avoiding eye contact and maybe even a little blush (tsundere) since she's about to eat sweets in front of her students, but Ik-kun and Madoka-chan smile since they know, or rather than knowing, they can 'discern' that this was Chifuyu's way of apologizing to them in front of everyone. She notes their smile and can't help but smile a bit herself as she finishes the piece and goes back to teaching but Maya can tell that the air between the Orimura siblings is a little clearer now.

My intention is not clear enough it seems, Ichika already knew it from the get go in the previous chapter (he's being sardonic than flat out scowling), and Lingyin don't show any fear at all, on the other hand, Madoka, Cecilia, and Charles is flat out disturbed.

I suppose the transition needs to be reworked indeed. I felt like the last part of chapter 14 is not... gripping enough, and yes, this part is quite abrupt and too sudden.

Not genders at least: None of the female cast from the main story express interest in a relationship with Teenage!Chifuyu....well, there's Tatenashi, but she's just being her usual self so she doesn't count.
